Looking at today’s per-capita death rates:
- In the world rankings, the Latin American countries are still the worst affected, with some improvement for Mexico relative to the others.
- The worst seven US states are now Arizona and six Southern states, with Florida moving into fourth place.
- Three Arizona counties have moved into the top four of all counties in the US amongst the worst four along with one Mississippi county.
- In California, Orange County has moved up into the top three behind Los Angeles and Imperial Counties.

One of the purposes of this blog is to experiment with simple ways put up a blog
on the web without depending on any blogging platform. For this I wanted a free
way to deploy static web pages on my own domain name. For this I chose Firebase Hosting,
partly because I am very familiar with it, having worked on the Firebase team
and personally knowing many of the Hosting development team, but also because it
is actually the best solution I know of for what I want, and it is free for
sites that have the traffic of typical personal sites.

Finally! Thanks to this Palm Pre Shortcuts article I now understand the “keyboard shortcuts” that show in the Edit menu of every WebOS app. They show a bullseye symbol followed by, for example “ C” for copy and “ V” for paste. But I never understood what the bullseye symbol meant. It looked a bit like the onscreen cursor hint that shows when you are in “shift” mode or “orange” (actually white on my phone) mode. But that never worked, and it turns out that the bullseye seem instead to be an attempt to show a glowing gesture area light. You need to hold the gesture area till you get the light and then press the specified key.

Many years ago when I first learned Java, I really liked the “checked exception” programming language feature. If the code in a method can throw a checked exception then the compiler forces the programmer to either surround the code with a try-catch or include the exception in the throws clause of the function declaration (which will recursively cause this compiler do this check in the calling code). Like strong typing, it seemed like a great way for the compiler to help the programmer writing more robust code with fewer error-handling problems.

The Play Framework is a very nice rapid-development environment for building Java web applications. It brings many of the sensibilities of Ruby on Rails to Java web development, including a nice test framework that allows for test-driven design. However, when you use Play you need to use its own particular build system using command-line commands such as “play run” and “play test”, and not more standard Java build systems like Ant or Maven.

I just discovered that in my neighborhood is a business called Well Beings Veterinary Homeopathy. People in the city do treat their pets like people, and belief in homeopathy is consistent with stereotypes of Californians, but what really tickled me was to see the “well” prefix (usually as in “well-woman” or “well-baby”) added to the somewhat Buddhist use of the word “being”. This name sounds like a parody created by someone mocking San Francisco.

The meme of Christianity was in decline on the Western fringe of Europe as the Germanic tribes of the Angles and Saxons and Franks swept aside the lingering Celtic-Roman society left behind by the Roman Empire. But, some carriers of the meme, personified in legend as St Patrick, made it to Ireland where it proved stronger than the pre-existing polytheistic Druidism, and from its Atlantic fastness it ultimately spread back East and Christianized the invading Germanics. I celebrate this today not so much because of the Christianity but because of the technology of Writing that accompanied it, setting Ireland on a literary course that ultimately lead to Yeats and Joyce and Becket and Heaney. Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

I believe that Scala is poised to take off as the successor to Java as the main programming language for programming on the Java virtual machine. However, I have found the online resources for learning the language to be a bit weaker than for some other programming languages, so I set up scalaclass.com where I gather together material to get you started and support your continued development in this interesting new language. The site is still in embryonic form, but I welcome your initial comments.

I am three quarters way through reading Teleb’s “The Black Swan”. What an interesting book! I knew from the reviews about the main thesis that history is dominated by unexpected high-impact events, which we later rationalize as fitting into some post hoc theory. However, there is also a lot of very interesting philosophical background that sent me off to Wikipedia to read more about “empiricism” versus “historicity”. Teleb’s writing style is very informal, more like an after-dinner speech than a monograph – some might find it a little precious, but I found it quite amusing.

After my disk failure, my re-born laptop is more-or-less fully functional again. Previously I used dual boot setup. This time I used the free VMware Server to run Linux under Windows.

We were lucky in that all of the local pods of Orca had come together to socialize and hunt for the salmon sheltering from the strong ebb tide currents in coves along the coast. We saw lots of the orca swimming along in family groups, splashing about as they herded the salmon, and popping their heads out of the water to keep an eye on the boats.
